Floral Birthday

Can you believe June is here? That means this is the last card sketch for this term at Stick It Down. 

   I created this lovely watercolor birthday card for my mom. 

Supplies: cardstock (Cardstock Warehouse and Crafter's Companion), pattern paper: (Cocoa Vanilla Studio), inks (Crafter's Companion, Ranger), sticker: (Cocoa Vanilla Studio), washi tape (Pebbles Inc.), and embossing powder (Stampabilities)  

   I am currently loving these Sparkle Inks from Crafter's Companion. I used them to paint in the black and white floral pattern paper that is matted in black cardstock. 

 You have until the end of the month to play along with any - or all! - of the sketches.  Just add your creation in the link in the Stick It Down sidebar.  If you share on social media, please use the hashtag #StickItDown.  We’ll choose one winner from the entries and they will be invited to guest design for us in August.

Birthday Cards WCMD Recap 2

   Today, I am going to share with you a few of the birthday theme cards that I created on World Card Making Day.  The 3 that I will be sharing with you feature the CAS-ual Fridays Stamps. 

The first one is my type of card, a pop-up explosion box card. This one would be great for a kid's birthday. 

Supplies: cardstock (Bazzill Basics), pattern paper (Simple Stories and American Crafts), stickers (Pretty Little Studio), stamp (CAS-ual Fridays Stamps), ink (Tsukineko)

   The nest card would be a great birthday card for her. It is filled with layers.  I based the card on a sketch from Sketch~N~Scrap sketch 

 Supplies: cardstock (The Paper Studio), pattern paper (American Crafts), journaling spot (My Mind's Eye). stickers (American Crafts), embossing folder (Momenta), stamp (CAS-ual Fridays Stamp), ink (Tsukineko), sequins (SpiegelMom Scraps), twine (My Mind's Eye), embossing machine (Sizzix)

   The last card is a super simple card that I was in a hurry to do since my favorite show, Heartland, was about to come on. This was also based on a Sketch~N~Scrap sketch. 

Supplies: cardstock (American Crafts and The Paper Studio), washi tape (American Crafts), embossing folder (Momenta), stamp (CAS-ual Fridays Stamps), ink (Tsukineko)

   Thanks for stopping by and reading this long, picture heavy post.
